Arduino Employed Power Theft Controller and IoT based Load Controlling for Smart Energy Meter System

Abstract

This paper deals with proper monitoring and controlling of energy consumption as well as detecting the power theft if anyone is trying to theft the electricity. Nowadays, lots of energy gets wasted due to thefts and consumer has to wait for the person to come from utility to provide them with the energy meter bill. An Internet of Things (IoT) and Arduino-based smart energy meter is suggested as a solution to these issues. The Arduino uno used in this project is controlling the power theft if anyone tries to theft electricity. With the implementation of IoT, which is required Node MCU i.e., not only controlling the loads which are connected to a 4xl channel relay but also providing the details of energy consumption to loT interface so that information can be used by the consumer.
